The review

On paper, Lustrous is an outside bet if you want Pour Homme for less.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pour Homme's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 23% less than Pour Homme — the 6th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value2.6
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on mandarin orange, bergamot and neroli, turns to lavender, sage and cedar, and settles into tobacco, Tonka Bean and amber. That is the brief Lustrous is working from.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • bergamot
  • neroli

Heart

  • lavender
  • sage
  • cedar

Base

  • tobacco
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Lavender and sage over tobacco and tonka, mannerly and quietly old-fashioned.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 21 twins of Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme we can price, Lustrous is number 6 on price per 100ml.
